http://www.iSteve.com/05JanA.htm#parental.selection From the NYT: Judith Rich Harris Writer and developmental psychologist; author, "The Nurture Assumption" I believe, though I cannot prove it, that three - not two - selection processes were involved in human evolution.
The first two are familiar: natural selection, which selects for fitness, and sexual selection, which selects for sexiness.
The third process selects for beauty, but not sexual beauty - not adult beauty. The ones doing the selecting weren't potential mates: they were parents. Parental selection, I call it. Steve Sailer's homepage and blog is iSteve.com
"Another kind of Darwinian selection?"
